I was caught by someone halfway down.
The one who caught me was an envoy from the Zhao Kingdom. He had a defined jawline and tightly pressed lips, giving off a very stern impression. I stared at him blankly, a hint of warmth rising in my heart.
"Thank you," I said softly.
He glanced at me with a look of disdain. "The food in the Nanyue Kingdom is really terrible."
My smile froze on my face, feeling somewhat embarrassed. I looked up and saw paper flying everywhere, and I couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect you to prepare so many fireworks."
He looked up briefly but didn't say anything. Curiously, I picked up a piece of paper to see what was written on it. But when I looked closely, I was stunned.
The paper depicted two large mandarin ducks fighting. I glanced at the paper in my hand and then back at the fluttering papers all around, feeling utterly defeated. This wasn't fireworks; it was clearly an erotic illustration!
The envoys from the Zhao Kingdom also realized what it was, their faces turning red as they whispered among themselves. I tossed the paper aside, ready to make a hasty exit.
"Zishu!" Li Jue rushed over, looking at me anxiously. "Are you alright?"
"Do you want me to call the imperial physician?"
I awkwardly shook my head, wishing I could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
"Li Jue?" The envoy who caught me squinted his eyes, sizing him up. "Is she a princess?"
Li Jue nodded, looking at him with confusion. "A woman falling from the city wall—what kind of decorum is that!" He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened.
I felt like crying without tears; I was not just embarrassed—I had socially died! Li Jue picked me up and ran towards the mansion. As he ran, he instructed Xiao Lu, "Take my token and summon Imperial Physician Xu quickly!"
"Yes!" Xiao Lu took the token and dashed out swiftly.
Li Jue held me gently and laid me down on the bed.
He touched my forehead and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
I pouted, about to speak, but tears fell down my cheeks.
Oh no, this is so embarrassing!
Li Jue was startled and hurriedly helped me wipe my tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
"Bastard Li Jue, die!" I grabbed his hand and bit it fiercely.
Li Jue let out a muffled grunt but didn't struggle.
Once I finished venting, he asked calmly, "Are you satisfied now?"
I gasped for breath, glaring at him.
"Li Jue, I want a divorce!"
I rolled off the bed and announced loudly.
Li Jue narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "Shen Zishu, you're dreaming!"
"If you dare to divorce me, I'll tell the Emperor about your treason. Even if we perish together, in the afterlife, you will still be my wife!"
I took two steps back in shock, staring at him in disbelief.
His reaction was quick and resolute; he clearly would not let go.
I regretted it.
If I had known, I wouldn't have teased him back then!
Now look what I've done—provoked an unshakeable guy!
After our verbal sparring, Li Jue didn't seem happy at all; he just looked at me with indifference.
I swallowed nervously.
"You... get out!"
Li Jue sneered and ordered Xiao Lu beside him, "You go out!"
Li Jue was trembling with anger as he stepped closer to me.
I stared wide-eyed and met him without fear.
"Shen Zishu, say that again if you dare!" Li Jue's gaze was resolute and filled with threat.
I sat on the chair, watching him warily: "Say it; just don't regret it!"
"Shen Zishu, take back what you just said!" Li Jue said coldly, "You can't leave until I'm tired of you!"
Hearing his words, my previously tense mood relaxed immediately.
Hmph, I thought he was going to do something serious!
Turns out he just wants to continue this game!
"Alright then!" I proposed a condition, "Give me a kidney!"
Li Jue frowned, "Shen Zishu, do you really think I won't dare to tell the Emperor the truth about your fake pregnancy?"
"Go ahead and say it!" I shrugged nonchalantly. After all, this body isn't mine! What's the worst that could happen? I could just die again! If I could return to my world, that would be wonderful!
Li Jue didn't expect me to respond this way; he stared at me, his gaze flickering slightly.
"Do you really not care?"
"Yeah, this body isn't mine, so what do I have to care about?" I said indifferently. "If you want to kill me, then go ahead!"
"After all, I've died before!"
Li Jue was taken aback by my words. He had never encountered someone so shameless! Or rather, he had never met anyone who wasn't afraid of death!
"Shen Zishu, you..." He squinted his eyes, scrutinizing me closely. "Who exactly are you?"
"I'm Shen Zishu!" I smiled at him. "What's wrong, Shen Taifu? You don't even recognize your own wife?"
"You are not her!" Li Jue insisted firmly. "You are not the Shen Zishu I know!"
"Hahaha!" I couldn't help but laugh.
Li Jue, you finally realized it! In this game of wits, I have ultimately won!
